So ... I finally got around to fixing that WP leak and yeah, that o-ring behind the waterpump had snapped. I also learned that taking the timing cover off the engine makes putting on the waterpump sooooooo much easier Lol. I had a busy winter break with some trips out west so that took up […]

Interesting.Thing is I used spring isolators AND needle bearings - above and below spring - on both diy coilover setups. (still using them.) They help a little, but with high spring rates and camber plates its a marginal improvement with compliance. Im sceptical the shock valving could make the ride compliant with such high rates, […]

I got the annex coilover setup via battle garage rs. Won’t be in until the spring I could get some time on them but Im looking forward.I considered FA, even KW and locally inquired at Ohlins the prices surpassed my cars purpose for now but fun to know what’s out there, and in the future […]

This thread has been active as hell! Good to see! The Annex kit will be more compliant than the FA kit and includes several proprietary features that help in both noise reduction and increase in ride quality WITHOUT a sacrifice in performance. P.S. The red hatch back doing track duty in all the Annex literature, […]

totta - thanks for the info.bgrs - the fa and annex kits still tempt me even though i know the caveats. Having the independent adjustments is VERY tempting. 2 questions:1. What are the front/rear shock stroke lengths with each kit?2. Which of the two is more compliant from your experience?Statistics: Posted by Deuce Cam — […]

I think the regs require 60mm out of the stub casting. The new strut is slipped over the OEM tube and the […]
